ThatDanGuy's Podcast: The Steel Wheels

A tradition-rooted modern
Americana act that also happens to be the founders and hosts of
their own Red
Wings Roots Music Festival (3 years strong so far), The Steel
Wheels are both creators and nurturers of authentic roots
music.

On their way to Alberta to
perform at The Calgary Folk Club at the time of this interview, I
chatted with lead singer and guitarist Trent Wagler about the band,
their music, and the annual festival. I found out a little
something about how close the connection is between this Virginia
band and some pretty heady Canadian acts.

Along with Wagler, the band is
comprised of standup bass player Brian Dickel, fiddler Eric
Brubaker and mandolin player Jay Lapp.
